Fresh Makuta of Bel-Air

Glad you enjoyed it. Chapter 4 (when I get it done) won't be as random of a nonsensical adventure as the last two. It'll still be funny, regardless of no zombie outbreaks or quests for revenge. Thanks for saying that. I've changed a lot since the first A Day in the Life so any sign that I'm still making people laugh is good news to me. Also, thanks for reminding me about your coffee quest. I'm going to have to look through the old thread to figure out what happened with it. My favourite part. Genius, pore and simple genius. Matau was awesomely hilarious, as well as TREN KROM Awesome! MTL Mostly trial and error. If you were to look through the Comedies forum archives (please don't do this, it's embarassing) you could see some of my earlier work which is just awful. After a while you start to realize what works and what doesn't. It helps that I grew up a little too; most of my older comedies would make me laugh but the humor used was incomprehensible to anyone else. Once I figured that out the first Day in the Life went spectacularly and everything sort of flowed from there. Glad you like the jungle gym. It turned out a lot better than an actual bunker. Also: the first related image of this topic. And it's an unfortunate one. Bad news everyone! (You know you read it in the professor's voice.) Thanks to the next two days being utterly unacceptable in terms of workload, Chapter 4 likely won't be Thursday. There's a small chance of it but I wouldn't bet money on it. Friday or Saturday are much more likely.

Honestly guys this week has been a mess. Two tests, a major presentation, an interview, a club meeting, and all sorts of fun and exciting stuff will probably keep me from posting something until Friday. I know I said that it would come on Thursday, but then life happened. Believe me, I'm unhappy about it too. It takes a decent amount of time to write this stuff; these chapters are anywhere from 1200-1700 words recently. On another note, I probably will be entering the short stories contest eventually. There's a lot of potential with the theme this time around. Again I'm sorry about the delay. I was hoping I could keep to a schedule but I really mismanaged my time. Hopefully I can set things right after this set of tests are done so I can keep up consistent chapters. That said, if I get it out tomorrow by some miracle I won't expect any complaints.

Apparently Jagex is in the midst of a major lawsuit with one of the main botmakers. They sent out emails to everyone they have detected using that bot and said that they could be sued as well for a decent amount of money. Jagex really brought the house this time.

In the original series I think he showed up once to park cars in the first chapter. He did have more of a role in this chapter than in the others solely because of the Zombie movie-ish theme, so you'll see much less of him in the future. Glad you liked it. He did show up a lot so it's probably going to be a hit or miss thing depending on who I ask. Originally I thought of giving Matau an actual bunker but there was less potential for humor there. A Bionicle zombie apocalypse comedy has some potential. When I planned out this chapter there was originally going to be a section styled after 28 Weeks Later's hilariously bad containment for zombies but it would have been too long and didn't really fit in. There's a lot of material there though.

Chapter 3: 28 Gregs Later As Icarax slammed the door and ran away horrified, Carapar finally returned from the gym. Carapar: What did you do to him? Greg: I guess we’ll never know. Carapar: …and that’s when I decided not to mess with Greg’s office anymore! Binkmeister: Greg, you realize that you’re actually supposed to do things here, right? Greg: Of course, but so far I’ve had to clean my office and actually get here. Binkmeister: Well that’s going to change. Remember the web seri- Tren Krom: THE WEB CEREALS HAVE RETURNED? TREN KROM DESIRES TO CHECK THE BOX FOR TOYS. Greg: Tren no, the web seria – wait haven’t we been over this? Tren Krom: TREN KROM FOUND A TOY PEN IN THE WEB CEREAL. HOW DISAPPOINTING. Greg: …what box is that from? Tren Krom: THE ONE THAT SAYS ‘WEB SERIAL’. GREG SPELLED IT WRONG, ALSO THE CEREAL TASTES LIKE PAPER. Binkmeister: He just ate the storyline again, didn’t he? Greg: Well it’s Chapter 3. He had to eat something of consequence. Takanuva: Truthfully I’m surprised it took this long. Binkmeister: Well now we need new ideas Greg. Chop chop! Greg: Oh come on. There’s still fish in my desk and Miserix is refusing to leave. Miserix: I’m staging an “Occupy Greg’s Office” protest. 99% of the storyline is written by 1% of the Gregs. Greg: There’s way more than 100 Gregs in the world but you have fun with that. I’m going to go to the story lab. Binkmeister: The story lab? But Greg, that hasn’t been opened in years! Greg: Well I guess we’re just going to have to open it. Greg moseyed down the hall, galumphed down the stairs, and halted in front of the giant steel door that blocked the way into the story lab. He tried to open the door but it didn’t budge. Greg: Well this is inconvenient. Now we have to go find a key. Takanuva kicked in the door. Greg: Takanuva, that was made of steel! Takanuva: No, it was made out of cardboard covered in tinfoil. Seriously, this looks like Hewkii made it. Hewkii: Yeah! Hafu: Nope! Another Hafu original! Binkmeister: Why would you be proud of this? Hafu: Leave me alone! Hafu ran crying up the stairs. Greg: So can we go in now? Takanuva: No one’s stopping you. Greg walked in and turned on the light. There were several test tubes filled with various Bionicle creatures. The Piraka sat in the corner playing blackjack. Zaktan: Hit me! Tren Krom: VERY WELL. Tren Krom flailed a tentacle at Zaktan and sent him flying into the wall. He died. BZPower members prepared their memorial signatures, but then they remembered that Zaktan was kind of mean and probably wasn’t worth it. Greg: Oh come on! I needed him for the story! Tren Krom: AND ZAKTAN NEEDED TREN KROM TO HIT HIM. Greg: Well we still have five Piraka left. Binkmeister: Plus all these test tubes. Greg: Hmm… Takanuva: Why don’t we just put them all together? Greg: I’m considering it. Takanuva: I was being sarcastic. Seriously, why just combine them all? Greg: Well they’re pretty insignificant by themselves, like everyone I’ve combined using energized protodermis. Takanuva: Well, that’s tr – HEY WAIT! http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/angry.png Teridax: Takanuva! I’ve got you…under my skin! The cardboard door fell on Teridax and broke his armor. Teridax: I kind of stink at this whole “door” concept. Teridax’s mist floated away. Takanuva: He really does. Why doesn’t he just get a regular door and just put a bunch of locks on it? Tren Krom: TREN KROM DOES NOT NEED TO, BUT HE ENJOYS USING THE HANDICAPPED DOOR BUTTONS. IT IS LIKE HE HAS TELEKINETIC POWER OVER DOORS. Greg: But Tren, you do have telekinetic power over doors. Tren Krom: OH YEAH. MY PLAYFUL BUTTON PUSHING IS RENDERED USELESS. Greg: Don’t be sad. Come on now, help throw these test tubes into this vat of energized protodermis. Tren Krom started flailing his tentacles about and throwing test tubes into protodermis like a pink tentacled tilt-a-whirl. Greg: Alright, what else should we throw in there? Icarax: B-b-b-b-bacon strips! http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png Greg: Well I don’t see why not but – wait, what are you doing here? Icarax: I saw Teridax’s essence floating around and figured I’d come down here. By the way, huge protest in your office. It’s like they know about all of the coffee creamer you’ve been taking from the lounge. Greg: There’s no way they know about the coffee creamer I definitely haven’t stolen. Besides, it’s company property! Even if someone were to take it, not me of course, they would be within their – Icarax: Greg, we all know it’s you. Binkmeister: Yeah, it’s fairly obvious. Greg: Oh come on! Fine Icarax, we’ll add some bacon. Icarax: Stellar. Tren Krom: AND LET’S ADD THESE PIRAKA, BECAUSE WHY NOT? Hakann: Well, it was nice knowing you guys. Vezok: Not really. You guys were kind of inconsiderate. Thok: Are we ever going to finish this blackjack game? Tren Krom: NOPE. Tren Krom threw the five remaining Piraka into the vat of energized protodermis. Then they added a special ingredient to the concoction – Chemical X. WUH-BLAAAAAAAA Thus, the Pale Skinned Being was born! Using his mind control powers, he unites people to fight crime and the forces of whoever he dislikes! Pale Skinned Being: I AM COMPLEEEEEEETE! Jack Black: Greg: Can I help you? This comedy has to be appropriate. Jack Black: Sorry. Jack Black left, hoping everyone would understand that reference. Pale Skinned Being: Wow! How great to be alive! Greg: Yeah sorry there’s been a mistake. You’re supposed to be gold. Pale Skinned Being: …what? Greg: Yeah…Tren, kill him. Tren Krom: TREN KROM SHALL KILL. Pale Skinned Being: Wait really? Why is this necessary? Binkmeister: Actually yeah. Isn’t there anything else we can do? Greg: I have a solution. Remember that tanning bed upstairs? Binkmeister: The one Carapar used when he was originally our white set? Greg: Ye – wait really? Carapar: …and that’s how I learned how to GTL! Greg: Sorry? Carapar: Gym, tan, laundry. Come on Greg. Don’t you watch Jersey Shore? Greg: Nope. Carapar: Oh come on! Everyone else does, right? Takanuva: Nope. Tren Krom: SNOOKI IS MY HOMEGIRL. Binkmeister: Never! Hewkii: Yeah! Carapar: Forget you guys. I’m going to hang out with people who know how to be cool. Tren Krom: WAIT. TREN KROM IS COOL! Greg: Ignore him. Come on guys, to the tanning bed! Takanuva picked up the Pale Skinned Being, threw him through the six floors above them, and into the tanning bed. Pale Skinned Being: Wait! I don’t have any suntan lotion! Takanuva: Not even Mata Nui can be your suntan lotion now. SLAM--- The Pale Skinned Being woke up. He was now the burned skin being. Pale Skinned Being: LET ME OUT OF HERE! Greg: What’s the password? Pale Skinned Being: PLEASE LET ME OUT I’M GOING TO BURN MORE IN HERE! Greg: Exactly right! Greg released the latch on the tanning bed and out came the sunburned Pale Skinned Being. Burned Skin Being: OW! Seriously, do you realize that you could have just given me skin cancer? Tren Krom slithered in the door with a fake tan, a six pack, and spiked tentacles. Tren Krom: GET CRAZY, GET WILD. HOORAY FOR THE JERSEY SHORE. Carapar: …and that’s how I made Tren Krom a reality TV show star! Tren Krom: LIKE THE KARDASHIANS, EXCEPT TREN KROM HAS A REASON TO BE FAMOUS. Burned Skin Being: Seriously, you all will pay for this! You will pay! The Burned Skin Being used his power of mind control to possess the Occupy Greg’s Office protest. The angry masses moved toward Greg angrily. Icarax: Kill the skin-burner! Miserix: Slay the sunburn bringer! Bordakh: Pacify the sun poisoning poisoner! Ahkmou: Assault the angry alliteration activator! Hewkii: Yeah! Greg: Tren, make your way to the Escalade! We’re getting out! Tren Krom: TREN KROM DOESN’T HAVE MUCH OF A WAY WITH WORDS, SO I’LL JUST SAY YOU’RE GOING TO DIE. Greg: Not you too! Greg moonwalked out the window and flapped his arms desperately. Icarax: Still doesn’t work! Greg: Oh yeah? Greg deployed a wing suit and flew down to the Escalade. He got in and saw Matau in the back seat. Matau: Kill the skin-burner! Greg: Get out! Get out! Ahhhh! Matau: Nah I’m just messing with you. I had to make sure you weren’t a spy for the devil. Greg: Alright, thanks, but you’re still a nutcase. Matau: Am I? Come on, to the DEVIL BUNKER! Greg drove off and Matau stopped him at the end of the parking lot. There was a jungle gym from the Lego daycare playground on the side of the road. Matau: In here! Matau crawled through the bars and curled up in a ball. Greg: Seriously? This is a thing? Matau: It’s the only way! It has a geodesic pattern to protect us from the devil. Greg: Actually all jungle gyms look like this. Matau: Who do you think made them? Greg: …not you? Matau: Ahh, you got me. Hafu: It was another Hafu original! Greg: Probably not you either. Greg, Hafu, and Matau hunkered in the jungle gym as the possessed beings circled. Matau: Wait, let me draw the anti-devil markings. Matau drew a sign that said “No possessed people allowed in here!” and put it on the jungle gym. Tren Krom: PREPARE TO FACE DEATH, SKIN BURNER. Matau: Hey, read the sign! You can’t come in here! Tren Krom: MY APOLOGIES. Tren Krom slithered away. Greg: No seriously, how did that work? Matau: I am a magician. Greg: I said I was being serious. Matau: I’m pretty serious. Anyway, this is the part in zombie movies where I turn on the radio. Hafu: The radio? Come on, this is 2011. Matau: Ahh, you got me. It’s an iPhone 4S. Siri, how do you cure sunburns? Greg: And mind control! Hafu: And head lice! Greg: Stay away from me! Siri: I’m sorry, I can’t answer that question. There was too much background noise. Matau: Guys, shut up! Siri, how do you cure sunburns? Siri: How should I know? Matau: Thanks Siri! Onewa walked up, seemingly unaffected by the mind control. Onewa: Hey guys! I heard you were trying to cure sunburn! Have some aloe! Matau: Aloe is from the dev- Greg: Thanks! Hey Burned Skin Being! I have the cure. Burned Skin Being: Really? Thanks. The Burned Skin Being put aloe on its sunburn, and all was well. Golden Skinned Being: That’s so much better! Thanks Greg! Greg: No problem, so stop trying to kill me? Golden Skinned Being: Very well. The mind control stopped. Icarax: Yeah, sorry about that Greg. Greg: No worries. By the way, go back upstairs to your office. Icarax wept at the thought and ran off screaming into the sunset. Greg: So, about the serials… Golden Skinned Being: Already on it. I wrote them all for you. Greg: Alright, sweet! Thanks Golden Skinned Being! You’re the best. Matau: Is the Golden Skinned Being the best, or is he the DEVIL!? Will Siri answer my questions? Why did Onewa have the cure for sunburn? Ending Guy: Will you stop taking my job? Find out next time in Chapter 4!

Hey guys. I'm watching the Baltimore Ravens choke horrendously while writing Chapter 3. It's going to be a long one. I'm very very busy this week so getting Thursday's up will be an adventure. That said, it'll be there.

I haven't played this for a while but I still keep in touch with game updates. I think Jagex does have bots beaten on this one. They're being incredibly, incredibly confident and seeing as how they're an established and experienced company I think they aren't underestimating anything here. They legitimately have something that will essentially end the bot problem.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. It is pretty random but hopefully not too much so. I thought about that but I really liked the sound of NEW AND EXCITING still. UH-OH! Good catch, I went ahead and fixed that. EDIT: Cool, we're a hot topic!

Not sure if this was intentional or not, but Tren Krom saying "Ow" finished the "now" he was going to say. Clever, if it was intentional, awesome anyway if it wasn't. And the Ussanui made me laugh as well. I didn't notice that, good eye! Completely unintentional, that is funny though. I wanted to make another Ussanui reference after I read through the old topic and saw a joke about Takanuva saying the Rahkshi were his property now and he could do what he wanted, including make a motorcycle out of them. I do remember that! I was wondering what it was from, thanks for reminding me. New chapter tomorrow, hold onto your hats!

Black coffee. I need coffee to get started in the morning but there was a period of time where I ran out of creamer and couldn't go buy more so I had to drink black coffee. It wasn't horrible but if I had the choice I wouldn't drink it.

Yeah...It must really suck to be a fan of a choker.... I think it hurts more when your team makes it to the playoffs (or worse, the super bowl) and loses than when you have a terrible team in general....Like the dolphins. Given the Steelers' biggest rival is over 60 years less experienced than they are, and their performance so far this season(Come on, you were a field goal away from going overtime with the Colts. Not Payton Manning-Colts, the 2011, 0-7 Colts. Even if I'm a Ravens fan, that just shouldn't happen to a team as good as Pittsburgh), I wouldn't be talking if I were you. Agreed though, it's kind of sad - a friend of mine is a huge Dolphins fan, and I always want to talk football with him, but I feel bad when I try. Tennessee? Thats what I thought.... Actually I thought 35-7. They both have big quarterbacks who can take decent hits, questionable offensive lines and secondaries, powerful linebackers and defensive lines, great running games, and the best safety in football. They're both consistent playoff contenders in the AFC North. If you said those two sentences to someone and asked what football team it described, they could describe either Pittsburgh or Baltimore. They're really, really similar. Pittsburgh has just been around longer. For the past several season they've been about the same.

Too soon on Gaddafi? I'd agree that it was pretty soon after he died but I think of it as timely. You're welcome to disagree though. As for Vahki Nation I really don't remember enough about the story to continue it. My writing style has changed a lot for serious prose fiction so I don't think I could continue it. I've considered writing an epic but juggling this comedy along with everything else I have is a handful already. I'll go look at it though and see what I could do with the plot. There may be a revamp if I like it enough. EDIT: Just looked back through it. I've actually considered an epic set in BZPower if I were to write one. Vahki Nation was a little too silly for my liking though, looking back. The text rickroll and stuff like that wouldn't be in a revamp. It would make for a decent comedy and judging by how well A Day in the Life did I'd say it did make for a decent comedy. It would be a lot more serious but there would still be a big focus on BZPower as a setting and the characters would likely be members and staff still. There are fewer images, you're right. When I reread the first bit of ADITLOGF, I noticed that I liked the first few chapters the best and that they had the fewest pictures. While some of the images I posted got creative (i.e. the family tree, the Pokemon battle, the Bara Magna map), I felt like it took away from the originality. There probably will be some images and/or memes if I can fit them in. I know for a fact there will be a few in the eventual Brony scene. There probably won't be as many shoop da whoops or traps this time around though. Thanks for explaining the Zehvor thing too. I feel like I missed a lot when I was inactive.

I kind of rushed this one a little. My day got thrown off by a fire alarm so I ended up writing this chapter as quickly as I could before dinner/Sunny. It turned out okay I think. Where is Another Day in the Life of GregF? I remember it but not what it was about or what happened to the seperate topic. Originally I was going to have this chapter be a long drawn-out quest for revenge in the style of "Taken" or "Law Abiding Citizen" but I realized that I already had a pretty long chapter and I didn't have many assassination ideas for Greg to try. I like having unique characters as opposed to the people acting exactly how they would in the Bionicle story or just fitting the comedy stereotypes (the "burn stuff" guy, the pie guy, the fool, the evil Plankton-style mastermind). There will still be some trends but they're different enough that it doesn't get old. Tren Krom will always be loud, all-powerful, and hungry; there's a lot that can be done with that though. Glad you liked it though! I'm glad too. I was worried if I had some giant quest for revenge about a messy office it would throw off some of the newer readers from the site. In a sense that becomes the punch line. At first I just randomly wrote in some ominous green ooze on Greg's wall but then I made it a Makuta because it fit and it would be kind of unexpected. Glad you like Tren Krom. He quickly became a lot of people's favorites after "TREN KROM SHALL NOW SHOOP HIS WOOP" in the first comedy. I plan on developing the other characters more as well but I think Tren will still be the frontrunner. Glad you like it. I really wanted to put in a Gaddafi reference earlier but it fit best at the end. I haven't quite decided on the unspeakable horror yet. It's not MLPs but there will be bronies in a later chapter. Also, I've been curious about this: What's with all the Zehvors? Is it all from TBTTRAH? I probably missed it when I was inactive. I had to try really hard to not laugh hysterically at this. Something about it stuck me as uncannily funny. Anyway, I read the original ADITLOGF from time to time and loved it, so I'm glad to see it remade. Keep up the good work; you can expect me to follow this closely. I really don't know how I got that joke stuck in my head but I knew it had to be in the chapter somehow. I'm happy to see an old fan reading and I plan on keeping up the good work. I'm considering posting Chapter 3 this weekend if I get a chance. It's still likely to be out on Tuesday since there's a lot to be done this weekend, but don't be surprised if it comes earlier.

Nothing but Christian gangster rap and dubstep made with bluegrass covers of the movie Titanic. But seriously? Classic rock, alternative rock, and hip-hop/rap. I just sort of mix and match from those three plus whatever interests me. Dubstep is pretty cool too.

Did you all see tonight's episode? The looting was incredible.

It's so condensed that it's a solid brick of milk. So dense in fact that you can't move it. It's like depleted uranium, but milk. I wish for uranium.

Comedies. I've been known to wander into GD (evidence: this post) and CoT. I looked around in the BBC forum for nostalgia's sake. I used to love the place and people are still making cool stuff.

It was pretty popular on here. There was even a button someone made that would do the yell whenever you clicked it. It floated around the blogs a lot. I haven't seen it here at all since the forums got back up. It looks like that meme... (puts on sunglasses) ...pushed too many buttons around here. YEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Hey all. I rushed a little on Chapter 2 - usually I do it in the morning before my classes but thanks to an alarm issue I slept a little too late to finish writing it. That said, I may release Chapter 3 this weekend if I get a chance. I still have a lot to do but if I'm free Sunday or Saturday I may finish outlining the chapter and release it outright. This isn't a guarantee though; if it's not here by Sunday at midnight don't be upset. Just assume it'll be here Tuesday (and it will). Someone mentioned a sequel to Nuparu's Greed in the short story topic. I'll consider it. It's a lot of fun developing a human character out of a Matoran. I can use it to convey a message in the story that the reader can look at and think about. Just a writing tip for the 5 people who read this blog: a message is important. I can get away with randomness in a comedy but in a more serious fictional venue you have to connect to your audience or they'll lose interest. Galigee's epics, for instance. All of them had a very human side to the characters and I enjoyed reading them. Bonesii (I think?) puts together some good stuff based on the canon but goes more into character development. Another good one I remember was The Turkey Shoot. I can't remember much about it, but it was awesome. If you have your own universe of characters, you'd better be sure you make them interesting or people will have no incentive to pay attention to them over Tahu or Kopaka. Also, Sunny was hilarious tonight. The looting at the end was hysterical.

Hey guys, a new chapter's up. Go check it out.

Chapter 2: Greg’s Revenge Greg initially wanted to check his office, but if Icarax was begging him not to go in, something must be very wrong. After all, in the past Icarax had no issue with wrecking Greg’s office. -Flashback- Greg walked into his office. His gold Bionicle Comic #1 was being used as a surfboard. Icarax sailed about the room on it, knocking things over and scaring small children. Greg: What is this?! Icarax: Leave me alone, I just want to be like Lhikan! -Another Flashback- Greg walked into his office. Icarax sat in Greg’s office chair applying make-up. Icarax: I wish I was a rich girl, na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na! Oh, hello. This is awkward. Greg: There’s mascara on every wall of the room. How did you even- -Another Flashback- Greg walked into his office to see a giant meatball sitting on his desk. Icarax: All this meat, hater! Greg walked out of his office. -End Flashbacks- Greg: Hey Bink, what’s his deal? Binkmeister: Well I don’t know Greg, he seemed kind of upset about the whole “getting atomized” thing back in 2008 that you made him do. Greg: Maybe that was a little mean. Maybe not. Who knows, who cares? Binkmeister: Atoms, Greg. Individual atoms. Greg: We put him back together! Binkmeister: Atoms! Individual atoms! What part of this don’t you view as horrifying? Greg: I don’t know Bink, I guess just THE WHOLE THING! Binkmeister: Well fine. Check your office yourself. Greg reluctantly opened the door and then closed it as the smell of peanut sauce and death overwhelmed his nose. He returned with a clothespin on his nose and looked into the mouth of madness. Greg: What is this, I don’t even – The Bionicle Comic #1 was half melted down into the shape of a fist. Greg’s ornate marble desk was karate chopped in two and filled with gefilte fish. Tren Krom’s closet home was filled with plastic 6 pack rings. The window was obscured by ominous green ooze. Worst of all, the coffee pot was brewing tea. Greg: ICARAX!!! Greg ran down the hall where the Makuta was lazily reading Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue”. Icarax looked up and shrieked. Icarax: Well, Sarah. Looks like it’s time for me to go rogue too. Icarax deployed his impractically small wings and somehow flew out the window. Greg followed, flapping his arms desperately. Greg: That was a good coffee pot! And you ruined it! Icarax: Do you know what else is good? Your ability to fly. Greg: Yeah, I really should have though that throu- BAM --- Greg woke up back in the cafeteria at Lego HQ. Tren Krom: HELLO GREG. Greg: I just jumped out a four story window, why am I here? Matau: Yeah, people can’t windfly. You must be some kind of DEMON! Greg: No seriously, why am I not in a hospital or something? Tren Krom: TREN KROM ATE ALL OF THE FOOD IN THE CAFETERIA, SO HE DESCENDED OUTSIDE MENACINGLY TO CONSUME PARKED VEHICLES. GREG BOUNCED GENTLY OFF OF TREN KROM’S TENTACLES. Greg: Alright, fair enough. What about Icarax? Ron: Well mate I’m assuming he simply flew off. Tren Krom: RON IF YOU INSIST ON INTERUPTING TREN KROM WITH YOUR INSOLENT PRATTLE TREN KROM’S FIST SHALL SIMPLY FLY OFF INTO YOUR FACE. Ron: I’m a pacifist! Tren Krom: THEN TREN KROM’S SHALL PASS HIS FIST THROUGH YOUR INSOLENT FACE. Greg: Settle down Tren, no need to get so mad at Ron for a simple assumption. What we need to do is get mad at Icarax for a mess that we could easily clean up. Takanuva: What part of that made any sense to you? Greg: All of it, except the part where you randomly showed up in the cafeteria. Takanuva: In case you forgot Tren Krom threw your SUV into Binkmeister’s office. I was unconscious and woke up hungry. Tren Krom: STORY OF TREN KROM’S LIFE. Greg: Does no one else agree with me on this? We can’t have Icarax keep wrecking my office. This has to be stopped. Takanuva: I really cannot care less. Tren Krom: THERE’S GOT TO BE MORE FOOD FOR TREN KROM SOMEWHERE. Hewkii: Yeah! Greg: Really Hewkii? Hewkii shook his head “no”. Greg: Figures. Looks like it’s all up to me. --- Teridax woke up quick at about noon and thought that he had to be at Bara Magna soon. He put on his armor and got dressed before the day began, before Mata Nui started complaining about his friends. Then Greg kicked in the door. Teridax: What are you doing?! Greg: Tell me where Icarax is! Teridax: No, no, no. We need to have a talk about this. You just kicked in my door. You don’t have any moral issues with that? I could have been asleep and you could have violated my privacy. Greg: Well I never thought about it like that… Teridax: What if I was sitting in here playing Jenga with my Rahkshi sons? They’re still scarred from our last home invasion. -Mask of Light- Takanuva kicked in the door. Teridax: We have a doorbell! Takanuva: It’s just been revolt! Ussanui: Dad! Help! I’m a motorcycle! Teridax: No! Drivers never respect cyclists! My insurance will go through the roof! --- Teridax: So you know what? I don’t know or care where Icarax is. You need to go home and take a long look in the mirror after what you’ve done! Greg: I don’t have a mirror! Icarax broke it! If you have such an issue with me doing this, then show me the door! Teridax: I don’t have a door! You broke it! Why don’t you just make like a tree and uproot yourself on out of here? Greg: Trees don’t uproot on their ow- Teridax used his gravity power to throw Greg out the door. Teridax: Alright, he’s gone. You can come out now. Icarax climbed out from under the sofa. Icarax: Thanks bro. I owe you one. Teridax: Yeah, you owe me my mask back too. Icarax: I thought you were a planet-sized robot with no need for masks. Teridax: I thought I didn’t just rip it off your face and put it back on when you weren’t paying attention. Icarax: Wait, you didn’t – The Mask of Shadows was back on Teridax’s face. Icarax: Well played. --- Greg frowned as he contemplated additional plans. Maybe he was overreacting, but a normal reaction just isn’t good comedy. Greg scooped some of the gefilte fish out of his desk and began trying to spread out a piece of planning paper. Tren Krom: GREG HELP. Tren Krom’s neck was trapped in one of the 6 pack rings. He was turning pink. Greg: Tren! Hold still. Greg took out his pen and cut through the ring of plastic. Tren Krom relaxed. Tren Krom: TREN KROM WAS IN NO MORTAL DANGER. HE IS ALWAYS PINK. Greg: Well good for you. I really don’t know what to do here. Should I keep going off on pursuit of this ridiculous revenge mission, or should I just move along? Icarax knocked at the door. Greg: Come in – IT’S YOU! Icarax: Greg I know you want to kill me but let’s face it: I’m made of metal, I can fly, and I control essentially every conceivable elemental power. Again, not really thinking it through. Greg: That’s a valid point actually. Icarax: But I wanted to apologize. You see, what happened was I was fishing and I found several fish caught in plastic six pack rings. I tried to save them but couldn’t. I brought them to your office and used Tren Krom’s kitchen – Greg: Wait, he has a kitchen? Tren Krom: THERE ARE MANY, MANY THINGS IN TREN KROM’S CLOSET. INCLUDING SKELETONS. Icarax: Anyway, I used Tren’s kitchen to make gefilte fish. I invited Miserix in here to eat it but he got angry and chopped your desk in half. We got in a fight which resulted in the comic getting melted. We settled down and had a nice cup of tea like brothers should. Greg: Wait, what’s the green stuff on the window then? Icarax: Oh, that’s Miserix. Miserix: ‘sup. Greg: That’s disgusting. Icarax: So I’m hoping you can forgive me. I got you a new coffee pot. Greg accepted the coffee pot. Greg: Thank you! Icarax: No problem. I’m glad we settled this like mature adults. Greg: Oh, by the way, don’t go in your office. Icarax walked into his office and saw a scene of unspeakable horrors. Icarax: Nooooooo! Ending guy: Did Greg get his revenge? What happened in Icarax’s office? On a scale of 1 to Gaddafi, how dead could Tren Krom have been from choking on plastic rings? Find out in Chapter 3!

I really like this. The torso design seems familiar to me but I haven't seen a MoC for years so I truthfully have no idea if I've seen it elsewhere before. The wrists are cool too. Do they hold up okay? I'd think it could have the potential to be pretty loose and floppy. Maybe that was just my ball joints. The legs aren't really a game changer but they hold the MoC up and go with the color scheme so I don't see any issue. I've never been a fan of number ratings so I'll mix it up and rate it pretty awesome/10. Keep up the good work! Have you thought of other Toa remakes? EDIT: Oh my bad, Kopaka and Tahu were mentioned. Are you going to post them? Which version will they be?
